How much of a chance to you give Judah to beat Khan?

Judah is highly dangerous and add to that he's a very fast southpaw! It's very dangerous for Amir, I think we could all be in for a really good fight in this matchup!! I think Amir is gonna go have to go through a crisis of the Maidana mould if he is to win! Believe me when I say, if Judah wins he gets PAC Man in next fight and he'll know that! ;-)

 

It'll be slightly more competitive then Khan/Malignaggi. If Khan doesn't walk into any counters in the first few rounds, he'll win relatively comfortably.

It says a lot about Khan that a fight with a 2011 version of Zab Judah is considered a 50/50. I don't blame anyone for taking that train of thought tbh. Khan has serious bad habits, but i'm just not THAT high on Zab as some people seem to be. I've seen this movie too many times. Zab gets dominated...Zab gets brought back...Zab gets dominated...

 

I dont think Khan will go through a Maidana type crisis mate but he wont be able to take his eyes of Judah especially with the power.

 

Punchers chance. He's not outboxing or outworking Amir at this stage for ****.

****ing Mabuza was finding him at times and Mabuza is hardly anything special now.

Amir should win, but if Judah get's in that counter left hook/uppercut, it could be a bad night for Khan.

 

fair chance if sweet pea gets him using a jab it could be interesting

 

Yeah Judah been working that Jab alot more with Pernell Whitaker, Roach even said at the presser that they will work to take Zab's jab out of the equation.

Lets see what happens.

 

Judah does not land his Jab with authority. He flicks it out from what I can see. Khan will beat him to the jab and Khan's will land.

 

Amir is a very strange fighter. Everytime i watch him i see a different flaw and what is on the surface a strength when you look closer at the same time opens up a weakness. His feet should be a big strength but in fact they're awful and get him into dangerous situations. His speed and combinations can overwhelm some fighters, but can be a weakness against certain styles. Some of his punches are thrown so amateurish that it leads to overbalancing and open for counters. His right cross for example is pretty horrid and he doesn't have a lot of motor coordination in some of his punches. For those reasons i won't trash anyone who has Judah winning this fight.

 

I'm giving Judah a slight edge. I think style wise it's impossible to dismiss Khan's last outing where he looked less than stella against an awkward southpaw. The fact Judah is a more awkward southpaw and can bang, means Khan will really impress me if he can get through this. I agree Khan stands a greatly increased chance of winning if he can get past the first half of the fight but it's gonna feel like a LONG time if your backing Khan.

Here's looking forward to a good fight

 

I wanna go on record and make a prediction about Khan fellas. He's gonna get knocked out again and i'll tell you in what situation it'll happen. Amir is gonna get tagged and stopped just when he's throwing flurries. I don't know if Judah is the guy to do it, but it's gonna happen sooner or later. If i was Pea i would tell Zab to let Khan throw as many combinations as possible and get him trying for the knockout. Damn, how i wish i could prepare Zab for this fight, LOL! I would tell Zab to stay calm under fire, take a step back and to make Amir fall short and then punch with him on about the 3rd punch in his flurry. I noticed that Khan's head comes up on about the 3 or 4th punch of a combination and he doesn't end with a jab stepping out.

He's so open at this point, but he gets away with it because people get dazzled and blinded by his speed so therefore no ones had the courage to fire or the ability of a faster trigger finger. So they all wait for him to stop punching.

I'm talking myself into giving Zab a very good chance, LOL!

 

This, and your post above on his bad habits, are spot on IMO, and I'm glad others are now saying this more frequently, makes me look less mental (doesn't happen very often )

 

Everyone who has beaten Judah has been bigger stronger fighters who can put it on him and break his will even more after his front runner burst. Maybe Spinks was the only one who didn't bully him but even Spinks had a healthy size advantage and fought at 154 and 160, with good success.

Judah should not worry about Khan physically unless Ariza has him on those special shakes If Khan doesn't bully him AND Judah has the confidence in the power and the lack of respect for Khans durability then the chance is there for him. Judah had skills and now he has more skills as he is working with Sweet Pea. He is fast, powerful and has alot of experience.

If Judah wins, there is no upset and no shock. Its a tall order for Khan.

 

Exactly.

 

I like this fight- just look at the way it divides opinion on the outcome of this fight!

IMO khan seems to have hit a wall in his skill development and Judah may be able to take advantage. Khan will need to pull off a great performance or survive a few scary moments(relying on Ariza's conditioning) to pull out a win

 

I believe he has a great chance Rumsy.
Khans advantage over every opponent thus far, has been quickness.
He's not that smart a fighter, and so i believe when he has someone who can match his athleticism, hes gonna be dragged into trading mid range.
Judah is lethal at mid range, hes as quick as Khan, hes a southpaw, and hes a good finisher too.
Im picking Judah to win here, so I chose the great chance option.
